https://atxuntangled.com/changelog What changed on ATX Untangled: new Austin tools, guides, and fixes, in plain language. en-us https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-466ef2b715b9bba3 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Trash day lookup tells you your collection day and whether it is an A or B recycling week, for any Austin address. Who represents me shows your council district, precinct, school district, and other local districts from one address. A jurisdiction checker tells you whether an address follows Austin rules or a nearby city's, so you know which office to call. When you hand ATX a request, you now see the exact filing before any email check. Nothing is sent without your review and approval. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-da71e5742f14b672 Mon, 07 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Each page now ends in a watercolor of the skyline across Lady Bird Lake: the Congress Avenue bridge, a few bats heading out, the water below. Light appearance gets golden hour on cream paper. Dark appearance gets a night version, lit windows and moonlight on the water, blended into the dark background with no visible edge. It is decoration only, and stays out of printouts and screen readers. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-e74624a9f49e4f9c Mon, 07 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Page titles and descriptions were trimmed so search engines stop cutting them off, and every page now has a working share image, including the Spanish guides and private pages like My actions. A mistyped or unknown link now shares the home card instead of a broken image. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-6f972b7dd2c6adc2 Mon, 07 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Text contrast on My actions now meets accessibility standards, the signature field announces itself to screen readers, and page regions are named. Thirteen guides were re-checked against the official sources they cite. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-cccccd979ebb33a3 Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT New step-by-step pages cover parking permits, noise and watering rules, small claims, unpaid wages, homestead exemptions, towing hearings, garage sales, block parties, streetlight outages, abandoned vehicles, code complaints, crash reports, traffic calming, backyard chickens, ADUs, freeze prep, and more. Each page links the official place to act and says what to expect. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-f2b61288be5e9f58 Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT A new data page computes real response times from the city's own 311 dataset instead of guessing. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-7bb4475a995eadef Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT The most-visited guides now open with a key-facts block, answer real frequently asked questions, and show when they were last updated. New side-by-side comparisons weigh protest options and permit expediters. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-797d485c28e7e3e7 Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Public-records requests now capture the requestor's name and email, and repair-notice and deposit-demand letters capture the tenant's name and date, so filings are complete before they are sent. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-85f0675cff853df7 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Fifteen guides now read fully in Spanish, with Spanish headings, sources, and related links, and they are included in the sitemap so search engines can find them. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-465925e34fb5ab78 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT A completed request can now be sent to the right city inbox directly, from a sealed one-time session that forgets your details afterward. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-60c4580907485ce2 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT When a case wraps up, you can add it to a public wins wall. Nothing is posted unless you say yes, and shared cards leave out personal details. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-b246ec0a17a232f2 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT Pages now generate their own preview images when a link is shared in texts and social apps. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-8817e697cbb8a39a Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Settings now keeps six useful sections. Advertising is gone while there are no ads, and official sources now live with Privacy & data instead of taking their own tab. A full address or Austin ZIP stays only in this browser until you clear it. The overview, location status, and actions now line up consistently on desktop and phones. New private accounts use passkeys first, and Feedback now has one Send report action routed to the dedicated ATX operations inbox. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-b708f2ada03b53ba Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Home now leads with a sample completed-request receipt, a tighter description of what ATX handles, and examples residents can try immediately. The proof strip, example prompts, review step, and freshness language make the path from a problem to an official receipt easier to understand before starting. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-6e6b20aee17d2d89 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Residents can enroll, review the exact filing, and approve it inside the action window instead of detouring through My actions. The filing preview is visible before approval, touch targets stay usable when address suggestions are open, and the main action is described in plain language. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-970d5bf74978c351 Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT A returning resident can sign in to a private account with a passkey, with no email required for ordinary saved-action sync. Protected filings can be signed in the case flow, and any step that needs the resident is handed back to their own active window before work continues. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-42ea34357c1b3f2b Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Residents who choose notifications can receive self-hosted web push when ATX needs them, while the case timeline remains the source of truth. Completed receipts can open the device share sheet so a resident can keep or share proof without ATX publishing personal case details. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-5f52ca8dab1e6739 Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT A landlord record check now brings together the Repeat Offender Program and public code-complaint history as leads, not legal conclusions. New source-backed guides cover Austin Energy rebates, Austin Water rebates, and building permits with the official next step attached. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-6e5d11207fae44fe Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT ATX now checks consequential catalog sources daily and alerts the operator when a cited page changes. Nothing republishes automatically. A person reviews the official source and updates resident guidance only when the change matters. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-d029556358ce45f4 Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The action lane now shows live progress while ATX works, rechecks filed cases through public feeds, and updates the timeline when the agency moves. Established residents can choose standing authorization for bounded routine filings, while protected or consequential steps still stop for review. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-9018ea60666e7523 Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Every completed case can produce a resident-controlled share card and open the device share sheet. Parcel IDs and legal descriptions now prefill the county and permit filings that need them, reducing retyping without sending more than the official task requires. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-fc1dd7607c375969 Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The header switches to a dependable drawer at tablet widths, keeps its controls tappable, and avoids hiding theme or Settings actions. Households can delete unclaimed execution cases, and completed test or stale cards no longer crowd the resident ledger. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-f1db3a8cc2489bb3 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The execution lane expanded beyond the first 311 paths to utility requests, non-emergency APD reports, and county property research. Voter registration and Texas benefits paths now prepare complete, source-backed packets instead of ending with generic instructions. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-454180f2f6a6a589 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The case ledger now leads with items that need the resident, separates active work from saved ideas, and tracks official status instead of asking residents to type it. Austin 311 tracking is idempotent, so reopening a request restores the existing timeline rather than creating a duplicate. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-17c80beba9a2bb63 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Deep links into Help now open the right mode on a cold visit, request cross-links render correctly, and the parking-ticket preparation path works again. Fourteen dead official-source links were repaired, while network failures now appear as plain-language problems instead of raw technical errors. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-b3356139d7b22a5f Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Fileable requests rank ahead of guidance-only results, and the action window puts the execution handoff where the match is first explained. Low-risk filings can be approved in the same window once required facts are complete; research-only tasks are labeled as lookups instead of filings. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-8fc4935d03bbc829 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The catalog now lists all 129 supported requests and marks which ones ATX can prepare for filing. Dedicated public pages cover common permit, records, voting, tax, childcare, repair, noise, ticket, bulk-pickup, and unclaimed-money tasks. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-584536e87d587715 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Five main navigation areas now lead into focused hubs with hand-written titles, direct official routes, and indexable pages. Savings leads with reviewed dollar opportunities, and guide pages group related answers so no result ends as a dead end. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-8cdfd8d6f007ab1c Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Address results now lead with a plain-language match summary and concrete actions before the longer mobility and public-data feeds. Around me uses an honest 90-day window, names a source when it is unavailable, sorts development by date, and accepts a bare Austin ZIP for nearby filtering. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-680ebcc05cb905da Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Privacy & data now has a Clear saved actions on this device control and a direct path to the execution-data export and delete controls in My cases. Account & sync now spells out that private sync never needs an email and is separate from invite-only execution enrollment, which uses a verified email only for your code and case updates. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-9c5af1ac24e88225 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Every case now stops at a review screen that shows the exact facts ATX will send through the official channel. Nothing is submitted until you read it and approve it, and any later edit asks for a fresh approval. Invite-only beta access now verifies your email before activation, and case updates arrive by email first. The anonymous phone alerts stay as a backup. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-a2f74e30793e8903 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The privacy page now says exactly what ATX keeps - case facts, proof captures, and official receipts - for how long, and which service providers touch the data. Your beta enrollment email is stored encrypted, used only for verification and case updates, and removed when you revoke access. It is never sold or used for marketing. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-93866f6281dc9245 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Typing your address now retries the city lookup the way Austinites actually write streets, keeps the house number you entered, and never shows a broken suggestion. The 311 service picker is rebuilt from the live requests Austinites file, so common problems match the right official service again. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-4e2db82337c1e50e Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Pages load less up front, analytics wait until the page is ready, and unused code was removed, so the site opens faster and runs lighter on your phone. The rotating money facts returned to the homepage, with the big Austin numbers included. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-53aaabbd74de5af5 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Prepare an Austin 311 handoff, return after visiting the official site, record a receipt (or say there was not one) and keep the next follow-up and resolution in one place. When Austin’s live service feed is unavailable, you will see a clear fallback instead of an invented result, while official source checks keep links current. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-d2051b4c24941ab3 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Savings now starts with three clear paths: lower a utility bill, protect housing, or spend less getting around. Choose the problem that matters most and you reach the right official next step sooner. Use the category tabs when you want to browse more ways to save. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-9eeb2d5b1ebf0ff3 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The latest resident improvements now have a focused public home, so you can see what changed and why without sorting through internal work. Search and category filters help you find the updates that matter, with the detailed run log one click away when you want the full trail. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-8ff64c0a04e1db84 Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Help now groups common questions into clearer resident paths, so you can reach the right official next step without sorting through a long list. Unclaimed-money searches use one current Texas and Austin checklist with a no-fee reminder and privacy-safe preparation fields. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-9350f946e2abe21b Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Home now loads less work up front, so the first useful choices appear sooner and the page stays steadier while it opens. Planning tools, detailed recommendations, and Around data still arrive when you ask for them, without slowing down the starting point. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-ba4eb7575ad1c616 Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Added source-backed guides for common Austin questions, with plain-language context, official starting points, and a concrete next move. Guide pages are easier for search engines and assistive tools to understand while keeping personalized address results out of public discovery. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-5b9700e8cd4303c5 Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT The homepage asked what you needed twice, in two stacked headlines. Now it asks once, with the question box right underneath it. Same starting point, less scrolling before you can type. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-ef27b31285af032f Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Help packets now keep longer 311 reports intact, use one clear page heading, and show each official source only once. Fixed topic matching and stale route wording so the path you choose leads to the current, reviewed handoff. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-a31026b4fec0a8fa Sat, 08 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Refined Home, Savings, Help, nested guides, colors, type, focus states, and press feedback after a full interface review. Light and dark themes now follow the same visual rules, and savings comparisons carry clearer labels for screen readers and phone users. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-84e42f82bacf9760 Fri, 07 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Restored useful resident actions that had dropped out during a large workflow update and fixed the crisis route so it opens reliably. Home asks each question once, with a shorter path from the first choice to a prepared next step. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-a3c70d36d6805a25 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Published a plain-language guide feed that helps search engines and AI assistants find ATX Untangled’s official-source-backed Austin answers and next steps. Added privacy-conscious traffic reporting so we can improve discovery without collecting personal details. https://atxuntangled.com/changelog atx-update-831745ab4026ae48 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT Help now points you to the right official starting places for medical bills or crisis support, school access concerns, private-well and water-quality questions, HOA or condo issues, and flood or insurance recovery. You can see which office or service to check without entering health, student, water-test, association, policy, or other private details here.
